A Lot Like Love by Julie James is $1.99! Thanks to everyone who told us about this one! James is always recommended for readers who want a contemporary romance with competence porn. I remember reading this one and I loved that the heroine owns a wine store. However, some readers felt that the characters weren’t as engaging as in other James’ books.
The Proposal by Mary Balogh is $1.99! This is the first book in her Survivor’s Club series, which is a favorite amongst the Bitchery. Readers loved the hero, Hugo, but I’ve never felt particularly moved to pick one up. Balogh fans, what do you love about her books?
I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella is $2.99! I feel like Kinsella’s books are hit or miss, or you’re either a fan or you’re not. The description describes a pretty adorable meet cute. Have you read this one? Are you a Kinsella fan?
The English Wife by Lauren Willig is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. This is historical fiction with a mystery element, and I love this cover. Some readers found the plot a bit hard to follow. However, others love the dialogue and layers to story. Have you read this one?
Ice Hot by Tracy Goodwin is $1.99! This is a hockey romance and Elyse enjoyed this one and gave it a B. However, she does issue some content warnings, so be sure to read over the review first.
Ice Hot was a sexy celebrity romance with an emotionally fluent hero and a terrific heroine.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is $2.99! Simply put, GET THIS BOOK. It was our book club selection for April and Sarah completely loved it:

This trio of Lightning Reviews is coming to you hot and fresh, and the books below are all February 2018 releases. There are some disappointing heroes, literary fiction with romantic elements, and a married couple.
Waaaay back in the day, I used to work at an independent bookstore, and between customers I would sneak-read the Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella. This was when chick lit was all the rage and half of the spines on the books I shelved were neon pink.
